Chapter 277 Sharon becomes the new leader of the "Temperance" faction

Erin, the leader of the Temperance faction, couldn't understand how Raphael could kill two "vengeful spirits" in such a short time.

It is common to see a Sequence 5 player quickly defeat another Sequence 5 player, but it is not so common for a Sequence 5 player to quickly kill another Sequence 5 player.

Moreover, Raphael killed two Sequence 5s in a row, and even Erin's daughter Lucia didn't have time to ask him for help.

If Raphael had given Lucia just a second or two more, she could have temporarily borrowed some of her father's strength, and she wouldn't have been unable to withstand even one of Raphael's attacks.

Actually, this was because Erin believed his daughter's side of the story. If he were willing to have a proper talk with Sharon, she would definitely tell him that Raphael had killed two Sequence 5s when he was in Sequence 6.

But it's no use saying all this now. Raphael has already killed Erin's daughter and used a Saint-level "Mind Deprivation" on Erin.

Erin knew perfectly well that Raphael possessed a level 1 sealed artifact.

Without lingering, he turned and entered the spirit world.

Sharon did not stop him and let Erin leave.

She glanced at Lucia, who was now split in two in the courtyard, and said to Raphael, "You shouldn't have killed her."

Raphael laughed and said, "She tried to kill me, so why can't I kill her?"

Sharon didn't continue discussing Lucia's problem, but instead said, "You're safe now."

Sharon then disappeared.

This internal strife is over. Erin's judgment was seriously flawed, and the other saints will not support him to continue as leader.

Although Sharon was very reluctant, she still had to go to the outskirts of Backlund as soon as possible to take charge of the situation, as Marich alone certainly could not handle the other saints.

Raphael was well aware of this, so he didn't stop him. Instead, he used the power of "vengeful spirits" to quickly extract the extraordinary characteristics of the corpses, then "stuck" the two corpses on the ground together, summoned the messenger Payne, and gave him the corpses to deal with.

Payne obtained two more Sequence 5 level corpses and left in high spirits.

Raphael glanced at the gardener in the courtyard and the servants on the first floor; quite a few people had witnessed their battle.

However, to a normal person, it simply appeared that Mr. Collins jumped down from his study on the second floor, and then a few afterimages flashed by, resulting in two bodies split in two.

Raphael snapped his fingers, "hypnotizing" them and making them forget what they had just seen.

Raphael then jumped back into his study, had the butler fix the window, and ordered a new batch of books.

After finishing these tasks, Raphael returned to his living room and waited quietly.

As dusk fell, there were ghostly shadows flickering on the window.

The next second, the exquisitely beautiful Miss Sharon returned.

Raphael was getting sleepy from waiting. He yawned and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

"It's resolved," Sharon said. "Erling has voluntarily resigned from his position as leader of the 'Temperance' faction."

Raphael thought to himself, "It seems this guy is just a bit too high up, but he doesn't have many confidants among the 'Temperance Faction'."

That's not right either.

Raphael remembered that Sharon and Marich were the true members of the "Temperance Faction," but Sharon had only been promoted to Sequence 4 about six months ago.

Back when Sharon was at Sequence 5, even if she was a close follower, it was unlikely she would become the leader of the "Temperance Faction." But when she became a Saint, things changed. If Erin made a major mistake, he would definitely be replaced by Sharon.

The disagreement that arose within the "Temperance Faction" was less a disagreement between Erin and Sharon over Raphael's situation, and more a conflict between Erin and the "Clerk Faction."

Raphael looked at Sharon: "You didn't kill Erin?"

A rare hint of emotion appeared in Sharon's eyes: "He has always been very loyal to my teacher."

Raphael gave an "Oh." Only a handful of core members remained of the "Temperance" faction; if it weren't for their shared ideals, they would have collapsed long ago. Indeed, it's often difficult to completely eradicate them.

He said helplessly, "I can understand you, but who can understand me?"

Raphael and Erin were now locked in a deep and irreconcilable feud.

Sharon said, "I've made Erin swear to the Bound God that he won't seek revenge on you in Backlund."

"What if I leave Backlund?"

"Didn't you travel?" Sharon had clearly thought about this beforehand: "Unless you're going to report your destination to Erin when you leave Backlund."

Furthermore, Sharon believed that the Lord of Lust would also protect Raphael, so even if Erin came after him, he should be able to escape without any problem.

Raphael continued, "Then can we continue our previous deal?"

"We can continue," Sharon said. "We'll help you find the heart of the One-Eyed Abyss soon," or prepare the ritual, but it will take some time.

Even saints would need time to find materials of this caliber.

"I can wait." Raphael handed Sharon a letter with the method to summon Payne written on it. "Write to me when you have news, or I will write to you when I have news."

Sharon took the letter, hummed in agreement, and just like before, disappeared from Raphael's sight without saying goodbye or giving any warning.

Raphael was already used to it, and sighed, "It's finally over."

With Miss Sharon watching him these past few days, he's even had trouble urinating properly; being watched is definitely not a pleasant feeling.

Moreover, Sharon wasn't exactly a spy; she was more like a bodyguard, which is a different matter.

After dinner, Raphael immediately changed his clothes and appearance, and wandered around the streets looking for an opportunity to impersonate someone else.

Raphael had previously considered trying to become a real "vengeful spirit" to see if he could digest the potion.

The number of homeless people on the streets has increased exponentially, even though the weather has just started to warm up. Every night, many people still freeze or starve to death.

Raphael felt that these homeless people must have resentment, and if he "possessed" them when they were about to die, he should be able to experience the feeling of becoming a real vengeful spirit.

Of course, doing this would definitely have a negative impact on Raphael's mental state, and might even be somewhat dangerous, but Raphael still felt that he should take the risk and experience this feeling.

He took a stroll around the West End, where the security was good and there weren't many homeless people, so Raphael immediately went to the Joewood district.

Before the war, this middle-class area had almost no homeless people, but now it's different; there are homeless people wandering the streets like zombies.

The surrounding residents are afraid to rest at night, fearing that homeless people will rush into their houses looking for food.

Raphael quickly selected a target and said to a homeless man lying on the ground, barely alive, "You must be very unwilling to accept this, right?"
